There is an engine section that explains how to remove the timing cover (front engine cover). It's fairly complex. As I remember, the total cost is about $150.00. |
its much easier than it looks.
support the engine with a jack and a board of wood (or some sort of cushion) remove the upper engine mount (and everything else in the way like the intake, etc) you also have to remove your passenger side tire. remove the serpentine belt and tensioner there should be about 9-13 10mm bolts holding it in. remove the crank pulley and the case should be able to be removed now. if i had more time id go into further detail, but this is it in a nutshell. youre going to get dirty too. |
The service manual set is available at GMTECHBOOKS.COM. The price has gone up,
it's now $185.00. |

It's not that hard. Just time comsuming if you aren't farmiliar. Also helps to have air tools and more than a basic socket set, swivel sockets Ftw
